Golf, Bonding and Minor Sun Burns

Our team had a great time bonding, discussing the trip and comparing handicaps (although for some of us the entire game is the handicap) at Sims park today. We were only passed by about three golfers who obviously believed they could shoot more than our average (and they did). Nevertheless, we had a great time and learned how we each handle a club, not to mention frustrating situations!
After about 5 hours on the course we enjoyed dinner at Hero's and selected our uniform for the trip.
